So I got hit by a snack attack yesterday - big time. And I was bad about it too. I came home about 2pm and was hungry, having not had lunch yet. There was a bag of tortilla chips on the table because I'd made taco salad for dinner the night before and I went to town on them. I finally stopped myself and made a tuna-curry wrap but there was some damage done.
The bad news: I think I used up my 150 calories of treats and at least one 85 calorie block of grains.
The good: I felt guilty even as I was eating the chips and finally stopped.
But then I started snack on pretzel goldfish rather than eating fruit. Again, I recognized it and went to eat an apple, but even as I was enjoying the taste I felt guilty eating them because they weren't giving me anything nutrient wise. There was a reason I always keep a limited amount of bread products in the house - because I'll eat them all.
But, because I feel guilty I'm going to pack a bag, leave early and go hit the gym after work. So maybe this will be the beginning of truly getting in shape. I just hate the feeling of knowing that I'm eating badly when I don't have to be. Although, a few months ago it wouldn't have bothered me, so I guess that's improvement.
Ltl- I know you aren't where you want to be weight-wise yet, but I've always thought that saris are so beautiful! How lucky you get to wear some!
Stay strong everyone! Beware the snack attack monster.

thanks mhray! i'm borrowing a sari, but freaking out less today.
good job stopping yourself with the chips. i can honestly say that when i'm in that situation, i DO NOT STOP til i hit the bottom of the bag. so kudos for exercising some self control and not allowing a small decision to snowball into something bigger!
Eating unhealthy is a bad habit, right? And it's hard to break a bad habit cold turkey. You are learning self-control and healthier eating habits, but we all have slip ups! At least you stopped yourself! You've been working hard and have earned a few breaks. :)
